They have broken down the barriersOf space and timeI have conjured this dream stateTo alleviate the sufferingI burnt these bridgesTo reconcile the mental stanceEmpty promises meld into nothingAmnesiac for convenience

These captured memoriesBring nothing of a fractured pastA ruptured glimpse into the depthsOf overwhelming tragedyAn ocean of disease Burns within my mindThe connections remain tornThe truth lays lost and forgotten

Weakened from the act itselfStrength ebbs away from body of formThey are waiting for the revelationThe reincarnation of lost depictions.

Dissolution of the formDeviate from paths untoldDissolution of the formThere is nothing in this worldBreak free of these chainsBefore they force me to rememberThe crime which lays locked awayInside my tortured mind

There are no more steps to takeI threw away the keyThis deviance still locked awayHidden from prying eyesThey grow ever restless nowAnd tighten their restraintsWhite dungeon wallsI shall not yield to them

Dissolution of the formDeviate from paths untoldDissolution of the formThere is nothing in this worldBreak free of these chainsBefore they force me to rememberThe crime which lays locked awayInside my tortured mind

The knives lacerate the fleshYet fail to breach the citadel of the mindThe fortress remains barred and guarded

They will not storm the gatesThey will not storm the gatesThey will not storm the gatesThey will not storm the gates

This song is about a man who has committed some kind of heinous crime, that only he knows the exact details of, yet he has forced himself to 'forget' said event. It follows him under the interrogation/torture process. I wanted to explore the idea of whether or not someone can truly 'forget' something.
